If you have an automatic transmission, my opinion is you should NEVER right foot brake, even on the street. Takes some getting used to. Since the brake pedal is not exactly aligned with the accel pedal, it's a bit awkward with the left foot. Helps to put a little padding under your left thigh.
Left foot braking, when done correctly, is unquestionably faster than right foot braking. Especially in any car that uses paddle shifters. It allows for instantaneous transfer from accelerating to stopping as well as allowing for techniques such as trail braking in turbocharged cars. Even with a stick shift and clutch, it's faster. The catch is that it's significantly harder to do it correctly with a stick shift. The trick you need to master is heel-toe with your left foot. Press the brake with the ball of your foot and pop the clutch with your heel. Most cars will need their pedal arrangements adjusted to accomplish this. I'm fairly certain almost all professional race drivers, such as GT4, GT3, and F1 use left foot braking.
😭😭🤯 thank you.

I'm pretty sure Shelly is a right foot breaker...and I know she uses Heal and Toe for sure.
it's definitely faster in fwd cars
